A team of 45 Robert Burns Academy pupils recently enjoyed a fun-filled ski trip in Italy.
The pupils, joined by their teachers, arrived back in Cumnock earlier this month after a seven-day skiing trip to Pila, Aosta in the Italian Alps.
It was an historic visit, as this was the first trip abroad for Robert Burns Academy.
The party enjoyed sunshine and near perfect skiing conditions with well-groomed slopes for the whole of their stay.
By the end of the week, the beginners were all making great progress and attempting some difficult red runs.
The intermediates and advanced were showing lovely parallel turns on long runs and enjoyed the views of Mount Blanc and The Matterhorn from the top of the mountain.
In the evenings the pupils took part in a variety of activities such as pool, ten-pin bowling and a pizza night.
All 45 pupils and staff came home exhausted with new friends and unforgettable memories.
The pupils showed excellent behaviour and were a credit to their families and the school.
